My wife watched her grandparents go to this theatre 70+ years ago. She said she'd go one day. I'm pleased to report she finally made it. They've obviously kept up and improved technology. The seating is very spacious. Sound is excellent. Technology for the stage is up to date. The show was excellent too
The Ogunquit Playhouse is a gem! At 93 years old, it’s full of history and charm, and our aisle seats (rows N & O, left side) had a perfect view. Elvis Meets the Beatles was high-energy, fun, and superbly performed, with colorful sets and a great storyline. A fabulous night in a legendary theater! Elvis was spot on. Little Richard was fantastic The Journalist Chris was convincing and the Beatles were entertaining.
Excellent production- grateful to watch a beautiful show excellent pricing and seating! Staff was super helpful and friendly which was so much appreciated. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say "I'll be back!" ~Sillygirl
The first show I saw here was 'Singing in the Rain' oh my gosh - such a grand show!! Then I attended the Davinci Code, which was also great, in a different way. The Playhouse is clean, staff is friendly, parking is a dream - so efficient. Cannot wait to go again! Maine, here I come! Just saw their new show 5/29/25. Amazing!!! Hoping to go back to see Titanic later this season. Next year, I think I will get season tickets, worth it for sure.
We saw Titanic at the playhouse. Parking was strange. Tight lines of car similar to how they load ferries. If the car in front of you doesn't move neither do you. The slant in the theater could be a little steeper. The heads of the people in front of you tend to block the front of the stage.
